“My driver has tested coronavirus positive; I have home-quarantined myself for four days and will get tested again on Monday,” said Rao.

The police commissioner is overseeing the Covid-19 lockdown re-clamped in the city from 8 pm Tuesday to 5 am on July 22 amid a spike in infections.

A couple of days ago, he went for a walk near the Vidhan Soudha and Cubbon Park to check the security arrangements for the lockdown.
